Such a wonderful idea...taking stock of the joys in our lives is important. However, I wasn't able to add the link, no matter what I tried, so here it is:http://www.4pointsphotography.blogspot.com/2011/06/joy-in-morning.html

Meri,Love the little girl in the stocking cap. I still want one of those! So funny that you have the pig with wings. I used to repeat that phrase to my boss and finally bought her a stuffed pig with little white wings which she still has. Adore the stone faced buddha.I love all of your photos of that and never tire of seeing it. It is stunning. Love the flowers. A wonderful, joyful post.xoxo,Noelle

Rhododendrons grow wild in the wood next to my home, the only problem is I have to wade through waist high grass on very rough ground to get there. Maybe I'll chance it this year and just maybe 'pigs will fly';~)

Hi Meri, I made the time to share the joy this week, it's something I've been wanting to for a long while! it feels good to be here finally. the photo of that family just screams "joy"! look at those smiles. I love when that happens. all of your photos are uplifting, thanks for sharing. and thanks for hosting too. happy Thursday.

Joy...that's a pretty wonderful word too! And I also love families who ask you to take there picture. A month or so ago I was at the White House, there was no parking so my family was driving around the block as I ran over to get up close & personal with my roots. All the jr. HS kids were there on there big chaperoned trip.Sitting on a little fence in front of the lawn, I tried to take a self portrait, but I have a big camera & I just couldn't manuever it. A little girl came over to me & asked, "Do you want me to take a picture of you?" Excitedly I answered, "YES!"I have 1 picture of me sitting in front of the White House with a big ole grin on my face, one. Forever when I look at it, I will remember that little girl & how her simple question made such a special memory! :)Hugs,Susie
